Last updated: 1 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Washshoulderan.world uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage to remember your cookie consent choices in your browser.
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), information collected via cookies may be “personal information” if it identifies you or makes you reasonably identifiable (for example, when combined with IP address or account data).
3. How we use cookies
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Enable core functions: security, load balancing, storing your cookie preferences, remembering consent state | Session to 12 months | No — strictly necessary for the service you request |
| Analytics | Understand how visitors use pages (e.g. traffic, popular content) to improve the site | Varies by provider — often up to 24 months | Yes — only placed after you opt in via our banner |
| Marketing | Measure advertising effectiveness or deliver relevant ads if we run campaigns | Varies by provider | Yes — only placed after you opt in |
4. Cookie banner and your choices
When you first visit our site, a banner lets you:
- Accept all — essential, analytics, and marketing cookies where used;
- Reject — only essential cookies and local storage for consent;
- Cookie settings — turn analytics and marketing on or off separately.
Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our banner because the site cannot function properly without them. You may still block all cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work.
You may withdraw consent at any time by:
- reopening cookie settings (clear site data and revisit the site to see the banner again); or
- emailing us at supportuse@washshoulderan.world.
5. Australian law — transparency and consent
We comply with APP 1 (transparency) by publishing this policy and APP 3 (collection) by collecting cookie-related information fairly and lawfully. For non-essential cookies we seek your consent before activation, in line with OAIC guidance on privacy and web analytics.
We only use personal information collected via cookies for purposes you would reasonably expect, or where we have your consent or another permitted legal basis.
6. GDPR (visitors from the EEA/UK)
Where GDPR applies, non-essential cookies are used on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You have rights described in our Privacy Policy, including complaint to a supervisory authority.
7. Third-party cookies and AI-related analytics
If you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, third-party providers may set their own cookies and collect information according to their policies. Some analytics tools may use automated processing to generate aggregated statistics; they do not provide personalised professional advice on this site.
We will list active third-party tools below when in use:
- Currently: no third-party analytics, advertising, or AI profiling platforms are enabled by default. If we add tools (e.g. Google Analytics or AI-assisted analytics), we will update this section with provider name, purpose, whether automated decision-making is involved, and a link to their privacy policy before activation.
We do not use cookies to power an on-site AI chat. See Privacy Policy — AI disclosure.
Third parties may process data outside Australia. See our Privacy Policy (section 8) for overseas disclosure.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Help pages for common browsers:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Safari — Settings → Privacy
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking essential cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice.
9. Retention
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser;
- Persistent cookies — until expiry or you delete them;
- Consent records in local storage — up to 12 months, then we may ask for your choice again.
10. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices or technology change. Check the “Last updated” date. Significant changes may be highlighted on the website.
11. Contact and complaints
Questions: use the contact details in section 1. Privacy complaints: see our Privacy Policy (section 12), including your right to contact the OAIC.
